Ephedra Herb (Ma Huang) Regular Cut
Ephedra Sinica
الإفدرا
Harmain Global offers Regular Cut Ephedra Herb (Ma Huang), sourced from wild Ephedra intermedia growing in Pakistan’s native ephedra regions. The regular cut keeps the dried green stem in long sections, so the jointed structure of the plant, with its nodes and fine scale leaves, stays visible and intact. It is known as Ma Huang in the Chinese trade and Ifidra in Arabic. As a professional Ephedra herb exporter and Pakistani Ephedra herb supplier, Harmain Global handles bulk Ephedra herb export for licensed buyers in markets where its trade is permitted.
